24 Soothing Leaf

*sigh* "What unpleasant memories..." Luduan looked at the two, recalling how he felt back then, she felt probably the same. He walked slowly towards Elisa.

"I'm sorry but, I'm not at fault for this outcome, this is my home and grave, of course I will protect it, if you were true to your self and open, maybe I would change my mind...but sneaking suspiciously, it shows no respect to this place which I held very dear. *sigh* Your friend, he will die, use the last minutes together, it's precious so don't waste your time..." Luduan saying what was on his mind, got back where he slept and lay down again, watching her crying, he couldn't help but let go of a sigh filled with emotion.

"Raven..." a voice called out to him.

Raven closed his eyes, he found not the expected ever darkness but a brightly coloured place, he was standing amidst countless stars, in front of him was her again. This Woman was truly beautiful, golden hair, golden eyes, carrying with her a gentle aura.

She called out again very soft.

"Raven, its not your time to die yet, don't forget what you have to do..."

She motherly kissed his forehead and suddenly he felt all the pain slowly gone, he felt a calming strength fulfilling his entire body.

Raven opened his eyes slowly, he found his wound slowly disappearing, Elisa crying and smiling at the same time, to him she looked in this moment very beautiful.

"W-What happened..." said weakly Raven looking at Elisa.

*snort* "You got really lucky, to have a friend with this Soul Power, do you know how many would kill you just to have your friend." said Luduan standing behind Elisa.

A few moments earlier...

Luduan felt Ravens lifeforce slowly going and going away. he closed his eyes.

Suddenly there was a slight ripple and a calming, soothing aura spreading, Luduan felt Ravens lifeforce slowly gathering, like a King slowly gathering his Soldiers.

He opened his eyes again and saw what happened. He was so shocked he couldn't believe what he just saw!

This little girl used her Soul Power to heal someone back from the deathdoor! It was nearly impossible to do this! This time he felt the power more carefully and was even more shocked! Holy Attitude!

He starred with big eyes at her, unbelieving what's happening at this moment.

Elisa was nearly at her witts end, and if she didn't remember her leaf, she would have probably been regretting this her whole life. She had to try everything she had, at least there was nothing to lose.

So she did what Arvan told her, the leaf formed and hovered in front of her, above Raven.

She made her intentions clear, the leaf was connected to her mind and soul so it didn't take long to take actions.

Seeing Raven waking up, his wounds slowly disappearing, she couldn't help it anymore and all the stress got to her, she fainted.

Raven seeing Luduan, he couldn't help but muster all his strength shielding Elisa. His eyes looked quite fierce, his golden hue, got more golden.

Raven and Luduan watched each other.

"Kid I won't harm you, I lost interest, if the both of you are good enough, scram."

Luduan went back and was slowly sleeping.

"Ah yes... Arvan is dead, so you don't have to wait for him, even her power can't bring him back, you brat got lucky."

Then Luduan fell seemingly asleep.

Ravens expression was really bitter, he felt really weak...

He stood slowly up, piggybacking Elisa and went on his way.

The door closed.

It was silent.

"They are gone Arvan, stop playing dead, you rascal.." said Luduan lying comfortable and looking at the wall where Arvan was.

"HAHAHA since when did you knew?"

said Arvan crawling out from the wall.

*snort* "Don't forget what I, Luduan am!"

"How can I? A Beast seeing all truth, the holy mount of daemon, Luduan!" said Arvan smiling.

*sigh* "So what did that old bastard say? Using me like this? What other plans does he have?" asked Luduan.

"I don't know, we waited thousands of years for this day to come, I don't know what father is planning, but still why are you so rough?!" Arvan was slightly annoyed, Luduan didn't held back at all!

"hehehe, you deserve it! Daemon Arvan, the son of Daemon Eldrick, if this would kill you, you probably would deserve it! HAHAHA" Luduan laughed out loud nearly roaring.

*sigh* "Still do you think this was the right way to go about.." asked Luduan.

"ohh, do you feel sympathy for the children?" smiled Arvan.

"S-Shut it, It's noisy with them finally I can sleep ah soo good!"

Arvan hearing this shook his head.

"but still...I hope he will change at least his fate for good.." said worryingly Luduan.

*sigh* "old friend we can only hope for the best...Luduan I forgot to say it, but your horn back, as you were behind the little lass you got it back" said Arvan.

"What? why didn't you say so earlier!" roared Luduan.

"I just remembered it you bastard do you want it to go away?! huh?!"

said Arvan.

"Don't forget I'm leading!"

"1234 to 1233 no big deal you big meaty pup!

both snorted.

"His future is his...He is a good child indeed." a voice came from behind.

It was elder Eldrick!

"Father"

"Master"

Both did a bow towards the old man.

"Let's go, these bastards have broken through slowly making their way towards the village."

"YES"

The aura around Daemon Eldrick changed, from an caring ang gentle aura it was now filled with pressure and might!
